Crispin: The Cross of Lead by Avi
My rating: 3/5 cats
i didn’t hate it as much as greg did, but i know what he means about it being a little flat. i probably would have enjoyed this as maybe an 8 year old. is that too old—i don’t remember what i was doing at 8, except i had unfortunate teeth. i’m not going to run right out and get the sequel to this or anything, but it’s a perfectly serviceable medieval tale of secret origins and poverty and swords.
